CAMPUS

RICE ARCHITECTURE
The campus includes about 50 major buildings based on a neo-Byzantine style developed by Ralph Adams Cram and characterized by red tile roofs, semicircular archways, and a special rose-hued brick. Currently under construction is the Computational Engineering Building, designed by John Outram & Associates (London), and the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy, by Hammond Beeby & Babka (Chicago; Thomas Beeby, architect). The new Dell Butcher Hall, by Antoine Predock (Albuquerque), is scheduled to start construction by May of 1996 and will house the Center for Nanoscale Science & Technology.
